It’s hard to think about it being 25 years since the tragic death of Nirvana’s lead singer/guitarist Kurt Cobain. His legacy has surpassed his 4-year career (1990-1994) by decades. He ends up becoming an icon of his generation much like Jimi Hendrix, Michael Jackson or even Elvis Presley.

On this day in 1993, Nirvana recorded their MTV unplugged special at Sony Studios, New York. Nirvana played a setlist composed of mainly lesser-known material and cover versions of songs by The Vaselines, David Bowie, Meat Puppets and Lead Belly.
